The Premier of NSW has announced this morning(18Oct2021) that Covid-19 vaccinated people need NOT wear the mask anymore. But the unvaccinated people need to wear the mask. This is just one of the many privileges given to vaccinated people. I am neither a supporter nor against vaccination, but the divide due to such distinct privileges worries me.

So what is the problem?

I am particularly worried about the mask rule. This allows clear identification of who is vaccinated and who is not. The problem is the environment of the divide. It also increases the probability of aggression from one set of people to the other one. Last but not the least, the added danger to unvaccinated people is in case they ditch the mask to avoid being identified as unvaccinated.

Here is a related article from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation(ABC) on the vaccine passport scams:
